They often have to deal with bills as a result of being unable to work, having to pay for the medical treatment they have been required to undergo and for the help needed around the home which they are unable to undertake due to their injuries.

Personal injury lawyers in Australia can help people make claims when they have been injured physically or psychologically, as a result of the negligence of another person, company, government agency or any entity.

Trevor Wells, director of Lough & Wells Lawyers and an accredited personal injury specialist says, “The aim of personal injury law in Australia is to put people back in the financial position they would have been in but for their injury.”

Personal Injury Law covers a broad spectrum of claims where a person has been hurt due to the fault of someone else.

“People involved in a motor vehicle accident or work injury are eligible to claim, as are people who have received unsatisfactory medical treatment, have slipped over or been injured in a supermarket or public place or have been bullied at school or at work. People can also make claims if they have been assaulted,” Trevor said.

“Personal Injury Compensation claims have strict time limits so it is important that anyone who has been injured seeks legal advice as quickly as possible.”

Lough & Wells Lawyers can help you with your claim. The business, started by Trevor Wells in about 1998, is now run by Trevor and his daughter Kellie who are both accredited personal injury specialists. Tim Frater, also part of the team, is a solicitor with a master’s degree in wills and estates.

“All clients of Lough & Wells Lawyers will deal with experienced solicitors at all times,” Trevor said.

“It is likely you can claim compensation if it can be established that someone else has caused your injury and loss. Whether or not a claim is successful depends on each individual set of circumstances. However we act on a “No Win/No Fee” basis which means that we are not paid any legal fees for the time that we spend on a claim unless the claim is successful (conditions apply).

“One very successful case was in October 2017. We obtained a medical negligence judgment against a local neurosurgeon for one of our clients who was very badly injured following a surgical procedure performed by the doctor. Our client was awarded over $4 million dollars in compensation for the doctor’s negligence.”
